After A2Z Contractors removed the warehouse fan, they set to work repairing the block frame that remained. Next, they filled the space with the glass block mosaic you see here. As is par for the course, we’re thrilled to add another window to the food hub and particularly to the warehouse. This window lets natural […]
From Rubble to Ramp
We find ourselves in a love-hate relationship with construction of our ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps. We love to make the Bull City Cool Food Hub accessible to one and all by installing these ramps. We hate the logistics of their construction. Since the love half is pretty clear, let me elaborate more on the hate half. As […]
